podman 4 has optional dependency on netvark
Last modified: 2023-06-14 05:50:07 UTC
as per this article https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/podman-new-network-stack podman seems to be moving towards replacing CNI with netvark due to divering needs and a dependcy on deperciated features in CNI. I have discovered we don't package netvark i believe we should to ensure podman has 100% functionality. podman should also have a hard dep on netvark as networking will not function properly(dns via container name fails unless either netvark or podman-cni-config are installed)
Netavark has been packaged in openSUSE Tumbleweed and SLE for a while now.
As mentioned above, we've been packaging Netavark and Aardvark-dns for a while in openSUSE and SLE. The reason we still don't have a hard dependency for both these packages on Podman right now is that we're currently working on a migration to the new network stack, starting with openSUSE, and this shouldn't be a binary flip as that can hamper existing workflows customers might have in place.
